That is, while you store fat over your<br \/>\nentire body, it&#8217;s probably most noticeable in certain<br \/>\nareas, and it&#8217;s from these areas in which we struggle<br \/>\nmost to losefat. You know&#8211;the problem areas.<\/p>\n<p>These problem areas are influenced heavily by your hormonal<br \/>\nenvironment, and where you store that last bit of fat is<br \/>\ndetermined by which of your hormones are most out of whack<br \/>\n<em>(and yes, sometimes it&#8217;s quite a few of them).<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Today I&#8217;m going to talk to you about bellyfat specifically.<\/p>\n<p>One of the things that has been talked about quite a bit in<br \/>\nfitness media lately is the relationship between bellyfat and<br \/>\na hormone called <em>&#8220;cortisol&#8221;<\/em>. To put it simply, the higher your<br \/>\ncortisol levels, the more bellyfat you&#8217;re likely to have.<\/p>\n<p>By the same token, if you have a good deal of bellyfat, it&#8217;s<br \/>\nreasonable to assume that you have high cortisol.<\/p>\n<p>Having high cortisol is detrimental for other reasons, but<br \/>\nfor our purposes, let&#8217;s focus on the fact that cortisol is<br \/>\nkeeping you not-so-lean in the middle.<\/p>\n<p>Rather than just suffer through this, the obvious solution is<br \/>\nto try to lower cortisol levels and resultantly lower bellyfat.<br \/>\nAnd I&#8217;ll tell you, lowering cortisol is a LOT trickier than you<br \/>\nmight think.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ve seen the late night TV ads trying to sell you<br \/>\nanti-cortisol pills. Even if they worked <em>(which they don&#8217;t)<\/em>,<br \/>\na hormone like cortisol can&#8217;t be fooled by a little pill.<\/p>\n<p>Besides, wouldn&#8217;t it be much more effective to find a solution<br \/>\nwithout taking expensive pills? <strong>Something that is also going to<br \/>\nhelp you burnfat naturally<\/strong>?<\/p>\n<p>Well, that&#8217;s actually possible.<\/p>\n<p>You see, I&#8217;m big on using certain hormones to tame other<br \/>\nhormones. Essentially, <strong>you CAN actually fight hormones WITH<br \/>\nhormones<\/strong>. Clever, I know. It&#8217;s just a matter of finding which<br \/>\nhormones work well against one another. When it comes to<br \/>\ncortisol (and bellyfat), you need look no further than<br \/>\nGrowth Hormone.<\/p>\n<p>Also known as Human Growth Hormone or simply GH, growth hormones<br \/>\nis produced in the pituitary gland and is responsible for growth<br \/>\n(obviously) among other things. More specific to this writing,<br \/>\ngrowth hormones is actually one of the most effective things in<br \/>\nthe world to offset cortisol.<\/p>\n<p>Put simply, if you want less cortisol, just make more growth hormone.<\/p>\n<p>Just tell you body to do it. Make a few calls.<\/p>\n<p>Okay okay, it&#8217;s not that simple&#8230;<br \/>\nbut I have some really good news.<\/p>\n<p>Did you know that there are certain types of training that<br \/>\nare actually exceedingly effective at producing growth hormone?<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s true&#8211;indirectly.<\/p>\n<p>You see, growth hormone is normally produced and released in<br \/>\nresponse to something, and in the case of training, GH is<br \/>\nreleased as a response to the production of something called<br \/>\nlactic acid. Lactic acid is a waste byproduct of some of the<br \/>\nchemical and metabolic processes that happen during exercise.<\/p>\n<p>So, if you do exercise in a specific way, you can produce <strong>MORE<\/strong><br \/>\nlactic acid, which will then produce tremendous amounts of<br \/>\ngrowth hormone as a result. That growth hormone surge will<br \/>\nalso help to work against your high cortisol levels.<br \/>\nAnd as we&#8217;ve established, that will absolutely assist<br \/>\nyou in getting rid of your stubborn bellyfat.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, you&#8217;re wondering: how do I do it!?<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s easy. While lactic acid is produced in most forms of<br \/>\nintense exercise, there is an <strong>unusual style of exercise<\/strong> that<br \/>\ncan actually produce even MORE lactic acid than is generally<br \/>\npossible with other types of exercise. Appropriately<br \/>\n(and not-so-cleverly) called <em>&#8220;lactic acid training&#8221;<\/em>, this type<br \/>\nof training uses slow lifting speeds and fast lowering speeds.<\/p>\n<p><em>(It&#8217;s the exact opposite of the way most people lift in the gym!)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The reason for the structure is that lactic acid is primarily<br \/>\nproduced during the <em>&#8220;concentric&#8221;<\/em> or positive\/lifting phase of<br \/>\nan exercise, and not so much during the <em>&#8220;eccentric&#8221; <\/em>or<br \/>\nnegative \/ lowering phase. To take advantage of this and<br \/>\nproduce more lactic acid, we simply&#8211;with apologies to<br \/>\nBing Crosby&#8211;accentuate the positive and (almost but not quite)<br \/>\neliminate the negative of each rep on all of our exercises.<\/p>\n<p>To quantify it a bit, for each rep, you&#8217;d lift it over a<br \/>\nperiod of about 4 seconds, and lower the weight extremely<br \/>\nquickly, but safely.<\/p>\n<p>If you were squatting, you&#8217;d drop down to the bottom position<br \/>\nrelatively quickly, and push slowly back to the top. In an<br \/>\noverhead press, you&#8217;d lower the dumbbells quickly but safely,<br \/>\nand press them back over your head over a period of 4-6 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>Performing exercises with these extended concentric movements<br \/>\nis going to create a tremendous amount of lactic acid, which in<br \/>\nturn is going to prompt your body to produce fantastic amounts<br \/>\nof growth hormone. And that growth hormone is going to help you<br \/>\nmanage cortisol and fight bellyfat.<\/p>\n<p><strong>And if all THAT wasn&#8217;t enough, lactic acid training is<br \/>\nalso just a great fat loss training methods, so you&#8217;ll<br \/>\nlosefat overall.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you want to fight your cortisol issues, you need growth<br \/>\nhormone. And for that you need lactic acid training.<br \/>\nUtilizing this method, you&#8217;re one step closer to fighting<br \/>\noff your bellyfat for good.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>Pretty cool, huh?
